Sean fumed silently as he stepped into Faustino's mansion. The man was dripping with wealth and bathing with money yet he couldn't spare him some.
No, he hadn't said, Sean takes this money for taking care of my grandkids and jeopardizing your marriage or Sean meet my business partners they would love to be your partner.
Instead, he had fucking punched him right in the face!
Sean looked around the house and sighed. This was the life he wanted to live, a man with power and money. He wanted to run for president back in the States and Faustino would have been the one to help him but the man had found out a lot about him and he wouldn't lift a finger to help him.
Now, he was doomed because he was sure Lisa had sent him packing by now and shut down his company. His life as a marriage counselor was ruined because no one would want to come to seek advice from him.
For the first time in the last couple of da
Faustino studied Sean as he swallowed his food nervously and stifled a chuckle. He still couldn't believe that out of all these men in the world Isla had to choose the one person that had sent her to an early grave.He tried his best to understand what could have attracted his young beautiful daughter to this monster of a man but couldn't see any reason.He could only blame himself for his daughter's misfortune. Time and time again he kept asking himself why he had done what he had done to her and her mother but he couldn't find the answer.As he stared at the man now he felt he wasn't different from himself. He had abandoned his wife because she had given him a female instead of a male child when he should have adored them.Isla wouldn't have run away from home if he hadn't abandoned her. His heart ached at the thought of having to part with his beautiful grandchildren because he knew they couldn't join him back in
Lisa stared at the documents in her hands and sighed as she glanced at her phone. Any moment now, they would all arrive at her house.She just couldn't make up her mind on what to do and whom to trust. Sean had lied and betrayed her but she had grown fond of Noah.With the help of her mother and their family lawyer, she had filed a divorce and made sure that it destroys Sean's career but right now she didn't know what to do again.Sean was a good man and a good father maybe he had lied to protect his children and was scared of how she would feel if the truth comes out.But the truth had come out and she had hurt like hell. And now she feared that she was trying to go back to him to mend her broken heart because she was scared of waking up and facing the reality that she was a divorcee.She was scared of living her life hiding under the covers of her bed and wondering how her life would be if Sean ev
Natalie was happy to meet a lively mood in the house and she had taken that to her advantage. Since they were talking about a family night that could only mean they must have resolved things."We aren't a bunch of kids!" Noah retorted."Yeah!" Ava and Daniel echoed."We aren't a bunch of parents either," Lisa said.Her kids fixed a weird look at her."What?!" She cried, "I made a comeback too.""Well, technically you are our mom which makes you a parent," Ava designed to point out."Well, there's a difference. I'm a high-class mom," Lisa grinned.Noah stifled his laughter. "Whatever you guys do, we ain't among. The guys are gonna be battling it out in playing video games, right dad?"Sean nodded. "Right buddy."He knew that spending more time with the kids they wouldn't want t
"Dante?"Dante groaned and rubbed his sleepy eyes as he stood up to come face to face with Sean. He glanced at the clock on his bedside table then he realized there was no bedside table, he had fallen asleep with the rest of the guys in the basement."It's past midnight," Sean said."What?" Dante blinked at him, his eyes heavy with sleep."I meant the time. I know you wanted to know the time," Sean replied."Why did you wake me up?" Dante asked suddenly defensive.Sean chuckled. "Relax I just wanna talk with you."Dante sighed and rubbed his eyes then stood up. They headed outside and he sat down on the hood of his car.He glanced up at the sky and smiled. It was a nice night for stargazing and a little make-out under the stars. After this 'talk' with Sean, he would go wake Natalie up."I know we didn't start on the right foot," Sea
"Guess we are gonna rot in here and celebrate the birth of Jesus with rats and crickets."Jared kept quiet ignoring Xavier's pathetic attempt at making a joke. He was thinking of a way to get out of here when Xavier interrupted his thoughts."If we are gonna be dying together then you should get rid of that grin," Xavier continued with his jokes."Can't you shut up for five minutes I need to think!" Jared snapped.Xavier snorted, "You've been thinking since we got here and yet we are still here."Jared ignored him and continued staring at his surroundings. He was sitting on cold ground being treated like a criminal when he had done nothing wrong except hang out with Xavier.He was desperate and at this point, he was willing to do anything.The warden appeared by their door and unlocked it."Your sister is here for bot
Dante ran a hand through his hair and he plopped down on his bed. He couldn't believe he and Natalie argued for his brother's release.How could she say Xavier was dangerous when she couldn't even tell how dangerous her father truly is.His door banged open and he sighed covering his face with his hands."I do not want to have another argument with you, Natalie," he sighed."Sure then I'll just go."He looked up at the sound of Dario's voice and frowned."What do you want, Dario? I'm not in the mood for small talk.""I see you argued with your girlfriend," Dario commented.He snorted. "If you're here to gloat then please get lost!"Dario chuckled. "Easy man, I ain't your girlfriend.""Seriously, Dario. What do you want?" Dante prompted his question again."Mine can wait but you look like a volcano ready
Dante and Dario drove down to the police station after the inspector had called and informed them they could see Xavier.They pulled up into the parking lot and he was out of the car before Dario could kill the engine. He had a lot of things to say to Xavier.Dante saw Xavier sitting in the waiting room surrounded by two security guards."You finally decided to show your face here again, pretty boy," Xavier sneered the moment Dante stepped inside."I've been on an adventure, Xavier I just returned," Dante replied."Going to rescue your bride's kidnapped brother and getting her kidnapped is an adventure? You keep surprising me daily, Dante," Dario commented with an amused smile playing on his lips as he stepped inside the visiting area."Oh great. You came too," Xavier snapped."Why do you have security guards around you?" Dario asked with a frown."
Jared walked around the room with a pencil in his hands as he took in his surrounding a small smile forming on his face.He was not in his house for security purposes. Sophie had gotten a safe house for him and he knew she had good taste.The house had six rooms upstairs and it was built in a kind of underground. The sitting room was very cozy and it had a kind of security system in it.The doorbell rang and he glanced at the television screen. Sophie was standing outside tapping her foot impatiently."Open the damn door, Jared!" She hollered.He chuckled. It was fun watching her being impatient sometimes.He typed in the code and the door pulled open as Sophie barged in like a hurricane."Easy girl!""Not cool Jared, you're supposed to be checking your security cameras always. I don't have to ring the doorbell all the time."
"Dante?"Her husband stared at her with a confused expression."Na—ruff!"The next thing that followed was utter chaos as she stood mortified.Natalie blinked. Maybe if she closed her eyes and opened it, the horrible scene would disappear but the shrill voices reminded her that it was real."He is crazy!” someone exclaimed."Call the asylum!" Another added.Natalie watched as her husband tore at people's trousers and skirts barking like a dog.Like an actual dog! A real dog!She looked around mortified as she tried to stop them from racing out of the house screaming their lungs out.
“Doctor, what is wrong with my husband?” Natalie stared at Dante as he lay down peacefully on the hospital bed, a small smile playing on his lips. She caressed his hair and kissed his cheeks softly. “He’ll be asleep for a while, Ma’am,” the doctor answered. “Did you find out what's wrong?” Natalie asked. The doctor nodded and she heaved a sigh of relief. She had worried that everything wouldn't go according to her plans and she would have to start afresh after ruining Dante’s image. “This is the document of Dante’s hospital reports,” the doctor said, handing her some papers. Natalie went through it and a smile formed on her lips. “Thank you so much, Doctor,” Natalie smiled. The doctor nodded, “You’re welcome, Ma’am. I wish you success.”Natalie nodded as the doctor left. A few minutes later Lee stepped into the hospital room, panting. “Reporters... Outside... Wolves!” he panted. Natalie shrugged, “Calm down, Lee. Did you get it?”Lee handed her a box and nodded, “Everything i
Natalie stared at Dante as she saw the speech he had written and she chuckled."What's funny?" Dante asked with a frown."You are writing a speech like you aren't a businessman again," she chortled.Dante's frown deepened. "What is wrong with that?"Natalie smiled. "I just don't think it would be necessary for that. You can do that without the speech."Dante furrowed his brows at her. "It's an impromptu speech, Natalie. I need to be prepared."Natalie noticed the way his muscles were tensed and she sighed. She knew he was nervous but she didn't know what was going on in his mind.She stood up and touched his biceps. He smiled at her touch and she smiled. "Why are you so tensed?" She asked.He shrugged. "What do you mean? I'm not tensed."Natalie smirked. "You are, Dante."Dante sighed and took a seat beside her on the bed. He massaged his throbbing temples and sighed again."Out with it!" Natalie exclaimed."I'm scared, Nat," he whispered.Natalie froze at the tone of his voice. Her p
She tried connecting the dots but at each point, she came up blank. Nothing made any sense whatsoever and Sophie had agreed to accompany Dante. It was only out of jealousy that she had decided to go with Dante. Could it be that this whole thing had been a trap to ruin her trust with Dante? What more can break a relationship except when they've lost trust in each other? First, she was made to lose faith in Dante by finding out about his affair with Sophie which wasn't so much of a big deal if she had just sat down to think about it. She massaged her temples as she felt the headache beginning to form. She needed to stay focused because that was what Sophie was trying to disrupt. For some reason, she knew that her coming here would do no good for either her or Dante. How could she have let this slip by so quickly? She picked up her pen and went to the board, there was a time when she had defeated Jared and Sophie, now was the same time to do just that. She examined the things that
Dante stepped out of the police van as he followed them to the cell where he would stay. "You will have to cool off here for the night, sir. Someone called us and suggested you spend the night here before you strangle your wife out of anger." Dante ignored the policeman as he thought about what Natalie had done. He knew he shouldn't be upset after what happened with Sophie but he was. In this frame of mind, he was willing to kill someone preferably Dario for touching her. And he has said he tasted his fucking wife! Those words alone had set his blood boiling with anger. He waited as the inspector opened the door and he entered his cell. His mind was reeling with lots of thoughts as he thought about what to do with Natalie. He didn't know if he should believe her when she said nothing happened. But the pictures... They were just too damn intimate for his liking and he wanted to strangle Dario for touching her the way only he could. How could she be so heartless and betray him li
He jerked away from her touch. "You've already embarrassed me before the media I don't care!""What nonsense are you talking about?" Dario asked."I'm talking about this!" Dante yelled shoving his phone in their face.Natalie gasped when she saw the pictures on his phone. It was when Dario had kissed her and when he had slipped her dress off her shoulder."Dante, this isn't what it looks like," she cried.He glared at her. "Yeah, then what does it look like?"Dario ran a hand through his hair. "Would you believe me if I say that I have no idea of how this came about?"Dante glared at him. "Try lying to someone else!""I swear Dante. The last thing I remembered was blacking out on the grass in the cliff before this whole kissing scenario after that blacking out everything is a blur," Dario stated."Are you trying to tell me that my wife is the one..."Dario interrupted him sharply. "Natalie would never do such a thing. I don't know what happened but it's not what you're thinking."Natal
His eyes narrowed into slits when he saw that she was still cuddled up with Dario while the media took pictures.How could she be asleep in this noisy environment?!Maybe because she had been so busy with something else, a malicious voice said in his mind.He noticed Natalie stirring and he glared at them trying to control his temper. "Get away from here!" He yelled at the media."She's waking and him too!"The media yelled ignoring him. He whirled around to see Natalie stretch and wake up before she froze at the flash of cameras.He saw the wild and confused look in her eyes and then she shook Dario awake. He saw how confused Dante looked and for some weird reason, he didn't believe a thing of what he had seen.Suddenly, the flashes of her naked body with Dario flashed in his mind and he gritted his teeth in anger."Mrs. Rodrio, are you trying to get back at your husband by cheating on him with his best friend?" One of the reporters asked.Natalie's eyes widened as he saw her grip Da
She froze. "Sorry for what, Dario?""Maybe if I hadn't encouraged you that day to go after him, If I had just slept with you that day then we would have ended up together," he murmured.Natalie frowned. "What are you talking about, Dario? Why are you bringing up the past?"He was looking at her but she was so sure he wasn't seeing her. She was sure he was in a reverie, probably transported back to ten years ago when she had gone to seduce him in his room."Dario?""If you had married me instead you won't be going through this pain. And I'm rich also just like Dante. Why did I ever push you away," he continued talking like he wasn't seeing her."Dario, what is wrong with you?" She asked sitting up.He ignored her and continued talking. "Perhaps, I can redeem that situation by making you mine. It's not too late."Her eyes widened. "The fuck are you talking about? It's fucking lat..."Her eyes were huge as she felt his soft lips on hers and his hands roaming around her body.She tried to
They stepped into the board meeting where the entire board of directors was waiting and the news playing on the television was the same news from earlier."Good day, Mr. and Mrs. Rodrigo," the assistant board chairman smiled at them.Natalie nodded as they hurriedly turned off the television.Quickly, they took their seats and she sat down beside her husband."The shares are falling drastically, Mr. Rodrigo!" one of the board members exclaimed."I think this video of you and your wife has gone viral!" Another added."Oh my gosh! This is a scandal associated with this company," someone chirped in."You need to address this matter as soon as possible, Mr. Rodrigo," someone added.Soon everyone was talking and he couldn't hear anyone again. He tried to calm them down but they were in full panic mode.Natalie wiggled out of his arms as she headed for the door."Where are you going, love?" He asked surprised.She shook her head. "I have to leave this place. I can't stay here any longer.""B
